Book Covers Redesigned

I bought Oh Comely magazine for the first time this month and I fell in love with it. There was an article in which they designed book covers for trashy novels that didn't exist. I loved the concept so I decided to redesign some of my favourite books. 

I discovered that I have a very definite style to my book cover designs! I'm not a graphic designer, they're just rough ideas so don't go getting too offended over my awful Photoshop skills! 

How great would it be to have a book that was the entire Harry Potter series?

  2. All 7 Harry Potters in 1 book? Sounds perfect to me! Imagine trying to carry it though haha. I wish I could use photoshop or something so I could redesign some of my favourite book covers though. Also I love Of Mice and Men I remember reading it at GCSE and its stuck with me ever since, its such a good read

  7. I seriously love your Philip Larkin design.
    I had to design a book cover for one of my uni modules so I'm all like "wow, she's really worked the grid" and I don't even know what I mean haha!

  8. So simple but so lovely! I know people say don't judge a book by it's cover but I do tend to literally do that haha
    And imagine how massive a full HP series would be!
    Lovely :)
